For International women’s Manchester Museum we will be hosting an open round table discussion around the topic of women in the cultural sector. Join three influential women from museums and communities to hear about their successful creative careers and also discuss important issues surrounding women in the cultural sector today. Simply turn up and listen, or get involved in the discussion throughout. The floor is open to anyone with an interest, opinion or ideas around diversity and culture, and we welcome anyone who would just like to find out more.

Hosted by Iqra Shah. No need to book, just ask at reception for the Wonder Women event.
